It’s best to create a new thread. Run FRST as suggested here.

Better to be sure, could be something still be lurking on the machine .

Then post FRST and Addition logs in a new thread.

I have no money for the head replacement tool kit until around the 1st. Meanwhile, would you recommend an affordable kit that would work with this WD 2TB WDBAAU0020HBK-01? I would be running FRST on the external drive?

I have watched YouTube videos. Over and over as if practicing.

Thanks, again.

No, you will run it on the machine that it was attached to, this way we can ensure that there is nothing lurking on the machine which could pop up later and cause more issues. It is best to be certain that there is no residual infection on the machine. You will need FRST 64bit version, save it to the desktop of that machine, right click run as admin. Two logs will be created, FRST and addition.txt post those logs in a new malware thread.

Did you look at the link in post # 14?

Yes, I’ve downloaded FRST. I’m new to this. How does this differ from the TotalAV I installed after the incident?

This is a diagnostic tool, it will list certain areas file paths that malware is known to hide. I take this information and create a script to remove any bad items from the machine.

Ah, very good. I’ll run it overnight here in New York State, U S A.

It takes only a couple minutes to run, make sure and right click run as admin, post the log in a new thread when you get time.

Now You should focus on what @PeterOz has suggested, and anything else concerning FRST should be addressed in the new thread.

OK, I ran it. Do I "fix’?

Post the logs in a new thread. I’ll check. ???

Are the logs that notepad file?

Assuming the logs are those two txt files, I start a new thread now.
